mi día preferido


100_1347Honduras was the the country I was most excited to experience. I was not disappointed. P1000499It was everything I love in a Latin or South American Country. The hills, the jungle, the people, and the remoteness. Love it.

Zip lining through the jungle and hills of Honduras was the adventure of the day. Imagine standing on a platform on a hill in the jungle and 100_1384looking across at another hill. There is a wire that will carry you across the valley to the other side. To where? You are not exactly sure because you can’t see where it ends. P1000490But you know this is going to be totally wicked! You are off. Soaring through and above the trees. Sometimes off in the distance you can see the ocean. It is all around beautiful and exciting.

There, now we both know what it was like to100_1366 zip line through Honduras. We zip lined over a mile, to and from about nine or ten different platforms across the hills of Honduras. If you are scared of heights 100_1356don’t look down, we are high, but it is way amazing and totally wicked.

Half the enjoyment came from our zip line guides. Four black men with carefree, island attitudes (Jamaican-ish), who know how to work any kind of camera. They sent us off and caught us at each platform, taking pictures along the way. They were awesome.

When we booked the excursion we were promised we would see monkeys and parrots. Silly us, we thought they meant in the wild.

After the adventure we spent a few hours at the beach.

So, in case there was any question, YES, I did love Honduras. And I would go back.
